Craig 6670 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 tbh, anyone who was relying on a pay rise must have their head up in the clouds given the current economic climate. I was expecting fuck all but ended up with 4% However, our team lost 2 members not that long back and they're not replacing them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, we've won the M25 widening contract so the workforce is going up by 350 by mid January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I give one every year but this year just couldn't justify it. We've struggled like most this last Qtr and while we're doing ok, we're about 20% down on last year. While no one mentioned it, I doubt any expected a bonus. That said, I did buy a 40" TV which was picked out of a hat for someone at the staff party. As an employer, I'm much happier if I can give the staff a Xmas bonus but you just need to be cautious / realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4355 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 It's not pay rise or bonus time for us but I did get a nice email off the chairman thanking me for my efforts (with an undercurrent of be thankful we aren't screwed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentFox 0 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Jawd I understand that not all companies can do it - but to leave it to Christmas eve to tell us The idea with the TV sounded good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15344 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 tbh, anyone who was relying on a pay rise must have their head up in the clouds given the current economic climate. I was expecting fuck all but ended up with 4% However, our team lost 2 members not that long back and they're not replacing them... My lot locked me in to a contractually agreed moderate pay raise to keep me on board for the next few years shortly before the financial crisis properly kicked in. And they denominated it in euros even though my salary's in sterling. Bet they're kicking themselves now. Similar story here anyway, lots of customers going to the wall/merging/scaling back their operations/suspending production etc. so it's all a bit hairy.
